The theatre IS open. It has never closed.
Thanks. Isn’t this theater a twin? I found two movies listed for today:
The Brave One (R, 122 min.)
7:00pm
Eastern Promises (R, 100 min.)
7:30pm
Here is a partial view of the Hampton Arts Cinema.
It is a twin and has been since 1984. If my memory is correct, the first two features upon becoming a twin were THE WOMAN IN RED and OXFORD BLUES.
The theater is still open thanks to the Hamtons Synagogue, who purchased the theater and the property several years ago. The theater is certainly widespread in it’s selection of films – from Hollywood summer blockbusters (they showed EVERY part III sequel this past summer!) to independent gems in the Fall. The synagogue also holds their film festivals there.
Hello I am writting a paper about this area at the turn of the century to about 1925 and I am particullary interested in the Hampton Arts building and the bulding that is now the westhampton steak house. If anyone has any images of these buildings during this time period I would greatly appreciate and e-mail
I would galdly give credit for any images provided.
Haven’t been there for a while, but am happy to report the new seats are in. Nothing fancy but functional. Walls look in good repair. I see no change in the “box office” or the refreshment stand. The Hampton Arts painting referred to above has been relocated to the lobby wall facing the street. Other new, semi-bizzare images adorn, what would be, the exterior wall of the auditoriums. With the new seats capacity is 279 and 277.
In a continued effort to upgrade the theatre the old marquee has been removed. I’m curious to see what will cover the gaping hole in the front of the building. I would presume they would then address the box office, refreshment stand area.
That marquee was down all summer and still is! What the hell is going on???
Well, at least during the summer there was a sign saying the marquee was being repaired. But the last time I went by the sign was down. Perhaps in prep for the new marquee?
Happy to report the marquee has been returned to the facade of the theatre. According to the original banner it was to have been repaired. However, driving by it looked new albeit the same. Wow, is it ever bright now. And they actually sprung for new letters for the signage.
